 * Building coreboot's cross compilers can take a while.  Luckily this is only done once.
 * Builds are finally reproducible! The [reproduciblebuilds tag](https://github.com/osresearch/heads/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3Areproduciblebuilds) tracks any regressions.
 * Currently only tested in QEMU, the Thinkpad x230, Librem series and the Chell Chromebook.

+qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptal-tpm1-hotp
+===
+
+The `qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp` configuration permits testing of most features of Heads.  It
+ requires a supported USB token (which will be reset for use with the VM, do not use a token needed for a
+ real machine).  With KVM acceleration, speed is comparable to a real machine.  If KVM is unavailable,
+ lightweight desktops are still usable.
+
+Heads is currently unable to reflash firmware within qemu, which means that OEM reset and re-ownership
+ cannot be fully performed within the VM.  Instead, a GPG key can be injected in the Heads image from the
+ host during the build.
+
+The TPM and disks for this configuration are persisted in the build/qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp/ directory.
+
+Bootstrapping a working system
+===
+
+1. Install QEMU and swtpm.  (Optionally, KVM.)
+   * Many distributions already package swtpm, but Debian Bullseye does not.  (Bookworm does.)  On Bullseye you will have to build and install libtpms and >
+     * https://github.com/stefanberger/libtpms
+     * https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm
+2. Build Heads
+   * `make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp`
+3. Install OS
+   * `make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp INSTALL_IMG=<path_to_installer.iso> run`
+   * Lightweight desktops (XFCE, LXDE, etc.) are recommended, especially if KVM acceleration is not available (such nested in Qubes OS)
+   * When running nested in a qube, disable memory ballooning for the qube, or performance will be very poor.
+   * Include `QEMU_MEMORY_SIZE=6G` to set the guest's memory (`6G`, `8G`, etc.).  The default is 4G to be conservative, but more may be needed depending on>
+   * Include `QEMU_DISK_SIZE=30G` to set the guest's disk size, the default is `20G`.
+4. Shut down and boot Heads with the USB token attached, proceed with OEM reset
+   * `make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp USB_TOKEN=<token> run`
+   * For `<token>`, use one of:
+     * `NitrokeyPro` - a Nitrokey Pro by VID/PID
+     * `NitrokeyStorage` - a Nitrokey Storage by VID/PID
+     * `LibremKey` - a Librem Key by VID/PID
+     * `hostbus=#,hostport=#` - indicate a host bus and port (see qemu usb-host)
+     * `vendorid=#,productid=#` - indicate a device by VID/PID (decimal, see qemu usb-host)
+   * You _do_ need to export the GPG key to a USB disk, otherwise defaults are fine.
+   * Head will show an error saying it can't flash the firmware, continue
+   * Then Heads will indicate that there is no TOTP code yet, at this point shut down (Continue to main menu -> Power off)
+5. Get the public key that was saved to the virtual USB flash drive
+   * `sudo mkdir /media/fd_heads_gpg`
+   * `sudo mount ./build/qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp/usb_fd.raw /media/fd_heads_gpg`
+   * Look in `/media/fd_heads_gpg` and copy the most recent public key
+   * `sudo umount /media/fd_heads_gpg`
+6. Inject the GPG key into the Heads image and run again
+   * `make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp PUBKEY_ASC=<path_to_key.asc> inject_gpg`
+   * `make BOARD=qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp USB_TOKEN=LibremKey PUBKEY_ASC=<path_to_key.asc> run`
+7. Initialize the TPM - select "Reset the TPM" at the TOTP error prompt and follow prompts
+8. Select "Default boot" and follow prompts to sign /boot for the first time and set a default boot option
+
+swtpm on Debian Bullseye
+===
+
+libtpms and swtpm must be built and installed from source on Debian Bullseye. Upstream provides tooling to build these as Debian packages, which allows thi>
+
+1. Install dependencies
+   * `sudo apt install automake autoconf libtool make gcc libc-dev libssl-dev dh-autoreconf libssl-dev libtasn1-6-dev pkg-config net-tools iproute2 libjson>
+2. Build libtpms
+   * `git clone https://github.com/stefanberger/libtpms`
+   * `cd libtpms; git checkout v0.9.4` (latest release as of this writing)
+   * `sudo mk-build-deps --install ./debian/control`
+   * `debuild -us -uc`
+   * `sudo apt install ../libtpms*.deb`
+3. Build swtpm
+   * `git clone https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm`
+   * `cd swtpm; git checkout v0.7.3` (latest release as of this writing)
+   * `echo "libtpms0 libtpms" > ./debian/shlibs.local`
+   * `sudo mk-build-deps --install ./debian/control`
+   * `debuild -us -uc`
+   * `sudo apt install ../swtpm*.deb`
